The Special Appeals Court ordered the media or any other person who has access to the decisions not to publish data on two decisions that it announced today in a row. It is no coincidence that these two decisions are related to the criminal group operating within the National Agency for the Information Society. The Special Appeal justified this decision, because the investigation is being undermined. Specifically, the first decision concerned the seizures carried out in the apartment of senior State Police official Ervina Gjana. The second decision concerned security measures against suspects as part of the criminal group at the AKSHI, where the security measure "house arrest" remained in force for the director of the institution Mirlinda Karcanaj and deputy director Hava Delibashi.
VNA has learned that the decision of the Court of Appeal to order the ban on the publication of data is related to the testimony of the former deputy director of the AKSH – Daniel Shima. Perhaps some remember the news published by VNA a few months ago about the disappearance without a trace of the former deputy director of the AKSH. Daniel Shima disappeared in the fall of 2025 in a mysterious way for 10 hours.
Although at the time the case passed without much fanfare, apart from a few media publications, Shima's testimony was presented as new evidence in the process by SPAK, in order to keep security measures in place for the suspects, including his former boss Mirlinda Karcanaj.
His story is actually worthy of a Netflix crime series. Although when he was kidnapped a few months ago and "returned" to say he was busy with his girlfriend, Daniel Shima remained silent; this time he has revealed frightening truths to prosecutors. Shima has recounted in detail how he was kidnapped, how he was transported and then gained freedom from his captors. Who Daniel Shima implicated in his story is kept a complete secret. But VNA sources emphasize that his testimony is another strong piece of evidence against the leaders of the criminal group that operated in the ANA.
SPAK has previously declared Ergys Agas and Ermal Beqiri wanted, whom it considers to be the leaders of the group that kidnapped businessmen and forced them to withdraw from tenders at AKSHI. This scandal is deepening every day, because day after day, strong evidence is being discovered not only against the leaders of this institution, but also against other members of the group. The state and crime have come together in a file where the threads between them are so entangled that it is not clear where the crime begins and where the state ends. The coming days and months will likely be burdened with intensive investigations into a voluminous file where for the first time the tentacles of the dark world are being proven and in that part that was thought to be the safest for Albanians.
